Let me know if you ever want to sell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You to John !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I think I am in the running.

 

There are definately a lot of pretty cars here... What would you consider the "Perfect" 3rd gen vert...

Engine, Trans, model...

IE I think the car that would probably be worth the most would be the sole 1992 Firehawk convertible... beyond that, the 2 TTA convertibles in 1989, Then I think it would be a tough call between 3, 4 & 5. I believe that any of the 350 powered verts would be up there...

therefore My thoughts are:
1) the sole 1992 Firehawk Vert
2) the 2 TTA Verts
3, 4, 5) 350 powered IROC, Trans Am/GTA & Formula ASC convertible (non factory of course...)

I think the PERFECT convertible, to me, is one of the following:


1) TTA convertible *didn't know they had those until you said something! *

2) Ultra Metallic Blue '90 IROC-Z convertible, G92, 5spd

3) Purple Haze '92 Z28 convertible with tan leather and tan top

4) Any '91/'92 Z28 converitble with LSx drivetrain *mine will be LSx powered hopefully by 2009*

 

Zimm, Don't listen to these sick bastards telling you to put a tan top on that car. Try this instead......... Black crosslace pontiac rims, if you knew someone that had em', it'd be worth throwing them on to see.

 

I doubt it's the best but... I like mine.

 

I like it too!

 

well i dunno bout the best,but i hope mine can hold its own to these sweet rides....

 

Okay, this is the best looking vert in Oklahoma. Hands down!!

here's my unique vert. It's a 1990.5

Do you call it a 1990.5 because it has the '90 front bumper/gfx, and the '91 side skirt and rear bumper gfx? Either way, it's still a really good looking car. I'd run the VIN and see if it's a '90 or a '91, and change the ground effects to match throughout so it looks factory. I really do like the car though.
----------
That's sick! That's the first grey/silver convertible IROC I've ever seen. I like that! That color is one of my favorites...

 

It's actually a 91 firebird. i converted the front end cause i don't like the 91 front ends. I took the wheels off of my totalled 88 GTA and i'm going to do a full intereor swap w/ digital dash along with my drivetrain and suspension. mods in sig

 

bluezee,
its my favorite color too,but i love blue n read iroc verts too.the third gen is the best looking .

 

Thing is, I didnt buy the car to keep the top up

If I am driving it, the top is down 99% of the time. The only time I really get to see the top is while I am washing it and black is way easier to keep clean than tan.

 

I like that...ALMOST!

I would have swapped the side FX & the rear bumper too, making it a 87-90 'vert.

The 91/92 FX have always just looked tacked on as an after thought to me. Especially the rear piece. The front sides, have always looked unfished.

OH! We forgot FX!"

"Here...done!"

 

I've never seen a 90.5 Vert. Is that real or did someone put the 91/92 GFX on a 90 style car?

Personally I love the 91/92 style. And I've owned almost every year of the 3rd gens. I currently have my '86 Autoform Vert for sale. It's too bad I'm selling it to start a business....I think it's one of the best looking verts!

The perfect vert for me would be a black '87 loaded with a 5-speed and gray leather interior. This is what I originally wanted because it was rare. I couldn't find one anywhere at the time. I settled for a black '88 loaded, gray cloth, automatic. However now I like the '88 wheels better than the '87 wheels and I like the blue stripe instead of the silver on the '87's.

 

what do you guys think of this pic?

 

That is sweet looking! The zo6 rims and it being lowered makes it look even sweeter.

 

The 90.5 cars couild be considered the early 1991 model year. Since production stopped on Dec 31 1989 for the 1990 model year. Technically there are no 90.5 cars, they are all considered 1991 models.

87 injected did you see my other pics higher up on this thread?2 more nice pics or at least i think so

I say the 1990 RS Convertible V8 is the best vert for the 90's model

 

haha ... nice revival.

Mine is the best. Did'nt have a new best this year but last year it went 9.85 @ 140.

 

I vote for BluZ's vert. Especially with a 6.0/t56.

I'd really love to see a Jamacian Yellow bird dropped on some charcoal/gunmetal wheels and of course a turbo LSx/t56 under it. Maybe a c5/c6 transaxle/IRS setup too? Ooohh to dream...

 

in Fontana i do
and as for TGO +2 for Blue

 

Not sure about that.... my 91 RS vert is a beater.... only paid $900 for it.... but I have BIG plans for it.

 

Mr.IROCZ (tommys) hands down.



I like mine a little bit also.




WAY to many to pick just one....

 

Specs on your car?

Cam

 

Thanks man!! You know my post that is further up this page, I posted it in 2007 and said I hoped to have my car LSX powered by 2009? I totally forgot I posted that back then, and look, it is the end of 2009 and I finally got it LSX powered!!

 

Im going to have to say Graboid

Yeah, actually I read that and had to check the date. Made me chuckle a bit. It's cool to see plans laid so far in advance!

 

It is kind of wierd and strange.

 

I do..









Last outing at the dyno it only put 385hp/335tq to the wheels. The injectors are to small cause the VE tables were just about maxed out, the commanded afr was 10:1 but the WB was reading 13.5-13.8:1... Bit more fuel will push that well north of 400. Not bad for a small block, on 93 octane and a stalled 700r4.

 

Hey Cam..

3450lbs, Spohn Suspension. 396 SBC, Eagle/Diamond parts, XR292 Cam, Super Vic, Pro System 780cfm carb, Dart Pro1 230's, Hooker Super Comps, 4" Single Exhaust, 11.5:1 comp, 1.76 Powerglide trans, 4500rpm Vigilante converter. 200 shot Zex plate. 11.0's @ 127 on motor back then. Runs/Drives on pump gas but I use VP113 at the track on nitrous. 3.73 gear, 12 Bolt Eaton HD, 26" tire. Shift at 7000. traps at 7100.(hose)

Now we ported the heads, more camshaft(still driveable), 100hp more nitrous. I want 8's but it's not easy... This year was spent chasing a bunch of problems..

 

I think mine looks pretty good....She will be even better after JS & I finish the motor upgrades.

 

mines looking pretty sharp right now

 

but it will look better this spring lol

 

Respectfully, id have to disagree lol j/k

 

BlueZee28 (Nick) - His car has been my desktop wallpaper for a while now...
also gave me the courage to swap an LS1 into my vert (still in progress).

 

uhh... I also saw a black vert with a carbon fiber hood and functional louvers... looked cool to me!

 

Wow thank you!

 

I'll throw mine in there if nothing else to keep the thread alive. it's not perfect, but i like it...

92 Hawaiian Orchid Z28.

as a side note.... i too like Blue Z's and that orange one above....... still trying to decide i want to tackle the high rise on mine or leave it stock.....

 

83

 

Umm... I would have to go with the Yellow Buick on this one... Both are fine cars mind you... But Living in Flint, MI, and partial to Yellow, I would have to go with the GSX.

If I lived in Lansing, then I might feel differently.

John

 

might not be the best but i bet its the best one around with 219xxx miles

 

were did you get the real spoiler

 

the camaro is stock
the mustang is off a real cobra its a 92 lx/ cobra clone they never made a vert cobra foxbody

 

I beg to differ. I rolled over 235k before I pulled my bird into the garage a few weeks ago for the turbo install. As soon as I get done it'll go back to being the daily driver.

 

lol well looks like you win ill admit i have replaced everything about mine just needs paint and its guts ripped out its sun faded being a az car but NO RUST anywhere
